Building Audi's missing Car.. Audi quattro Group S RS001 (Part 5) Getting the Driveline in

[@hydrotricine]

We are so used to see "tuners" projects that when we finally see a real motorsport project we get our minds blowned. Thank you for sharing this with the world!

[@philhyde2635]

I’m a late comer to this series. Wow, what a story. Binged parts 1-4, just awesome.

[@AxelGrassi]

Beautiful to see this build getting some good recognition. I’ve said it before but it’s a real genuine pleasure filming and editing this series and I hope everyone is enjoying the content, thus far! Working alongside Dave & his brains is a dream come true 🤘😎

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Couldn't agree more!

[@amaliagrassi6870]

It's an intriguing watch and I'm so pleased for you to have had this opportunity. It's a happy vibe.

[@poplaurentiu4148]

This prototype shouldn't existed the fact that this man try to build something like this is a very interesting process, so of course we like every episode until this unicorn Grumpy prototype will eventually be completed and actually run.. You are a very lucky fellow to film all of it and we love everything so far keep doing this work man we really like every episode.. i can not imagine at the end what the Audi representants would say or someone like W.Rohrl would give this prototype a driving shot that would be actually epic.. 2 legends re-united since i read in magazines about the fact that W.Rohrl actually secretly did a short test of the original unicorn and he mentioned that because it was mid-engine he could push it faster and it was more nimble than what he drove at that time the Audi S1 EVO..

[@ark-mark1]

Nice work brother! May the rest of the project be as enjoyable and Good luck to you too and Merry christmas! God bless you both for bringing this candy to us auto fanatics!

[@youmunt]

You should definitely get in touch with Johnny Smith aka Late Brake Show, would be amazing coverage for the channel this deserves to be seen by as many people as possible. I’m sure Johnny would jump at the chance to see this car and your other two also

[@davecrack1983]

Absolutely love this project and the attention to detail! Just discovered your build today and will now binge watch the other parts.

[@bbboywaxr]

Instantly Subscribed because i saw GROUP S written and a mad man trying to make it happen. 💯

[@ark-mark1]

An Audi Quatro group B but with better balance than in Lancia Delta and Peugeot T16 and modern turbo engine technology omg, WOW. All the luck and merry Christmas!

[@tommyb65]

Living the dream, just watch all the videos. Credit to all involved.

[@dspencer8827]

The stuff of dreams . I never thought it would ever be built

[@jamest5149]

Awesome build. When we used to hill climb, it was always a sceptical to see Tom Hamond turn up with his green shorty towing his Pike Peak replica at Loton Park etc. we had a A1 rally car in our motorsport team, and I have had loads of ur’s in various ages and specs, from standard to highly modified so I love this content. I remember Tom tried to buy the first version S1 PDK box from Audi… their reply was ‘yes, certainly Tom, just purchase Audi GMBH first and you can have one free’… the Germans do have a sense of humour and sarcasm 😂

[@ditopauli]

This project is so beautiful! I have no words. What a guy! What a car! Amazing work! So clean! So much passion! I have tears in my eyes! Full support and love from Austria! Enjoy every moment and stay safe! Thank you, for letting us be part of!

[@dspencer8827]

😮the people who was involved with the original car 🤭 Omg i cant wait to see it finished

[@johnmorrison27]

Absolutely pure Gold this build, you’ve got to get in touch with Walter to come and see it when it’s finished.

[@benbarnard8280]

Well done, doing such a great job, with decent new parts and know how, it a pleasure watching this build.

[@philtucker1224]

It would be fabulous to have one of the original works drivers to come along and do a few laps in it when the project is completed. (As a fan of the looks of an RS200) I’m so excited about seeing this beauty on four wheels! Wonderful project 👍🙏

[@swiftcee266]

Even the shell looks EPIC!

[@nijeboe]

Amazing build and fantastic how one can follow this on KZbin. Can’t wait for the next episode to be published.

[@danwedderburn5550]

Alot more complicated than the mk2 Escorts i used to build in the 80`s. Hats off to you man for taking this on. I can only imagine the huge cost & the time that has gone in so far. Looking forward to see this progress.

[@AshleyAinsworth]

That dashboard.....love it!

[@unknownswaps]

One of the best projects in a long time I saw on yt, honestly not the big audi fan but the build quality, atention to detail and thought process max respect Maybe one suggestion for dash, when you already have double gauges, make oil press and water temp gauges work from second set of sensors just to have double information in case something happens you can instantly know is it sensor gauge or engine problem, because thoes two are most important for engine health. Keep us posted, can't wait for next video😊

[@southney7211]

Love the dash. Really tidy. Great idea with the ecu feeding the gauges 😎

[@lskogstad]

Amazing :) keep up the good work!

[@rwsmotors]

David, friend, this is a great project, like everything you touch. For me, this is a great motivation in assembling my Audi quattro S2. I am very grateful to you for your advice on the 07k engine and on the dry sump system, I will do the same as you did on the S1, thank you very much and I am very glad that I know you.

[@soty391]

This is amazing , love this Channel 👍Greeting from Slovakia

[@russellnewton-mason6337]

Amazing build, I dread to think what the budget must be!

[@philtucker1224]

It’s so gorgeous it really doesn’t matter. This one will be priceless…

[@desnekke7073]

Great work ❤ and Greetz from Germany 🇩🇪

[@gafrers]

Fantastic quality and attention to detail. Except the drysump lines 😂. Cannot wait for the next update

[@robertrishel3685]

It’s a work of art. Absolute perfection! 🙏

[@KiG1208]

Really looking forward to hear from the original guys who built the original… hope it’s an entire episode of them talking about back in the day

[@jondove1666]

Agreed, doesn’t need to be cut down to 15min, go 2hr if so :p

[@arkeyethenoo]

Gets better and better Dave, one of the best I’ve seen! He standard is far above the original works cars for sure. Are you getting an MSA log book on her??

[@aatunen1332]

absolutely mindblowing build. subscribed immediately!

[@macthevan]

Awesome build

[@tyymclarenfan]

I cannot wait to see this iconic car run 👍💯

[@tomscustomshop]

Looks awesome Dave!

[@lillaprofessorn]

Amazing!i would love to see more of actual assembly tho👍

[@240rsmaxi8]

You better bring this to Rally Legend!!

[@Penguinracer]

Magnificent build!

[@philtucker1224]

When I first heard your accent my heart sort of dropped that this project wasn’t U.K. based but I was elated when you said you were based near Silverstone! I live near there too!

[@mambastu]

Really interesting build. Look forward to the next installment. Editing on this one was a bit annoying when you were showing us parts like the dampers and then it kept cutting away to the side of your head every couple of seconds. It would be nice to see more close ups of the parts.

[@Frikdik]

Very professional job🎉

[@flizndfor]

I would really appreciate if you would take us into the production and creation process! The project is super nice, but to much talking … show more and use more voice over please 😬 Thx in advance! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@mikeb3010]

If you use Crofton road Orpington you’ll know how important that suspension set up is..

[@Wildandfree903]

Awesome project 2 questions and sorry if they have been talked about before, 1 what will the car be used for? second lots of cars these days have sill stands or are you going conventional as in stands under the car!! Thanks again can't wait for the next installment.

[@steeleluedtke398]

Only question I have is why wouldn't you use a AAN or old school Audi 5 cylinder for such a historic and important project? I understand the availability and displacement from an 07k but the noise is quite different and honestly a lot better from an AAN, 3B, 7a etc.

[@ealoken]

It's hard to get parts for the old engines.

[@MartinEhrsson]

Please, it's a completely different type of gearbox and driveline, a completely different type of suspension with R8 parts, etc. So Everything is modern and better, so why would they use an old type of engine?

[@steeleluedtke398]

@@ealoken I own one so I can tell you it really isn’t hard to get parts especially for full on builds. It probably is a tad bit harder than a 07k. The only problem I have was watching his other 07k sport quattro the sound really isn’t the same compared to old 5 cylinder builds

[@steeleluedtke398]

@@MartinEhrsson Because it’s a historic 1/1 replica build that would’ve used a AAN type engine back in the day. Also it’s not like using an old engine is bad, it’s a complicated air pump so both engines will do the same thing. One just sounds 2x better and is made for the car and the other engine is made for a vw golf.

[@ealoken]

​@@steeleluedtke398well, in Norway it's getting harder to get good parts. But I agree, as a replica it should have the time period correct engine.

[@alexpetersen2055]

Would be pretty cool if you invite Walher Rorhl to come and see when car is finished.

[@soranrix]

Looks pretty neat with heat schrink on the loom😉 iam more in to tessa fabric tape, but this looks nice pad your self on the back, this is where i like to geak out myself, nice that iam not alone in, keep up the nice work, who made the gearbox/diff for you??? Will you be showing the car denmark/germany?? Regards sören

[@RJD2809]

Outstanding content. Thank you.

[@vic98auto]

Like I said before... people will came forward to tell stories about this car and their envolvem. We even may see Roland Gumper finally talking about Audi's group S.

[@CandSEvo7]

looking good Dave :)

[@Cossiedude]

this will be an amazing car! :D You should bring it to norway and drive the "norges råeste bakkeløp" (norwegian baddest hillclimb) ;)

[@philtucker1224]

If it’s a really well organised event I expect it may well happen at some point in the years to come..

[@jeanfrancoispoivre4438]

Elle va être magnifique 😊

[@EAFXtrader]

This is an amazing project and I can't wait to see this car actually being driven. Do you have a rough idea of when that might be Dave? sometime in 2024?

[@user-Lee-B-e8h]

Amazing work

[@964cuplove]

Please do as someone else suggested, get a guy like the late brake show or even a German car enthusiast channel on board and then go and meet up with Walter Röhrl. He would be the ultimate test driver to see what this thing can do…

[@psilocybe4623]

my jaw just opened and wont close

[@cuope75]

Profesional!!!!

[@cuope75]

My old racing build kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3uwp2yAgrCsi9Esi=3guV3aRyXtEpujLl

[@simonthomas4763]

Wow that's awesome , can I ask a stupid question what is the base vehicle ?

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Its based on a quattro coupe and a Audi 80

[@paulwhite7475]

It would be really nice to actually see the car

[@IngeBall]

Very nice!

[@lskogstad]

Oh, and; Test fit everything first, measure twice or three times then cut ;)

[@gerthofma6092]

I hope Walter will drive it and Audi will buy it for the museum.

[@TheRebelOne.]

Question! You said at the beginning of the VT that some people who were involved with the original build and design reached out to you. Have they at any stage advised that any part of your current design is incorrect given that you had little or no data to go on or that you may have to significantly change something as per their knowledge on the original design? Curious?

[@rwsmotors]

Dave, hi, please tell me where I can get a black intake manifold like you have on an Audi S1E2 Pikes Peak on 07k, I've looked all over the internet and can't find it. please help me with advice on where to get it, maybe there are drawings or a ready-made version for a Bosch 82.5mm throttle body

[@michalmusil6611]

great, thank you!

[@coultl6556]

I’m running an AAN at 3 bar boost and really want to know what intake manifold that is!?

[@futten3230]

sucks there were no real fabrication etc in these videos it woulda been much more interesting to see more indepth in the process of building the car rather then just some sudden apparence of finished parts

[@Abigailrp]

when will we see you wrench this stuff on to the car?

[@scottsvxr]

👌👍😎

[@buby58]

What ECU are you gonna use?

[@bernardwarr4187]

My guess is MoTeC?

[@buby58]

Hello, Well yes I kind of guessed that but I went on their site and found only engine specific ECUs. Do they have stand alone options that you can program according to engine type and specs?@@bernardwarr4187

[@Turbodudedk]

Less talk more building

[@discostu655]

I was gonna ask if u had managed to reach out to roland gumpert or any of the other guys who built the original.

[@philtucker1224]

Or maybe invite one of the original works drivers to do a few laps in it!

[@bluein2red423]

Amazing project. Some feedback on the videos themselves - please try and *show* a bit more, rather than simply *tell* all the time. Also, please try and stop staying “stuff like that” quite so often!

[@Wizards_Sleeve]

I like this build, it's very good but, due to the camera shot constantly jumping around ALL time time I find it annoying/difficult to watch 🤨

[@alanb9337]

Need more people like this to help Subaru back into the World Rally Championship. (Only because Audi is off to do Formula One again)

[@gafrers]

What are you smoking? This and WRC are completely unrelated. WRC Rally 1 efforts need 30+ millions per season. Subaru has enough problem selling cars without going the Mitsubishi way.

[@alanb9337]

The construction of the 'replica' of the nonextant Audi Group S mid-engine rally car in Pattishall? is a veritable reminder of what the commercial rally sector of the UK Motorsport Industry (Motorsport Valley) once was with the nearby Banbury, Prodrive Subaru Rally Team (Group A, N and World Rally Car etc) and Rugby, Mitsubishi Ralliart Europe (Group A, World Rally Car etc) and the UK companies that provided services to the programs. Subaru Australia are dipping their toes back into the rally waters with the WRX Challenge Class for the Australian Rally Championship.

[@timeshift2528]

Can I come work for you?

[@EliteHydronics.]

That gearbox looks like its been robbed from the red Ur Quattro... say it aint so :)

[@davidslamude8541]

less talking more building would be perfect!

[@FXCartel]

Actually prefer the talking an knowledge instead of just zooming past with sped up videos of stuff getting unbolted which anyone can do

[@ilveverythingdaft]

I would love to be in passenger seat when it’s up and running it’s my favourite car of all time iv been in a lancia delta don’t like them the Audi is king

[@dspencer8827]

Please just dont mention the word cheap it will put people off . Nothing on that car should be cheap .its been no expense spared so far as you can see .please dont cut corners now

[@BigBlackWizards]

It’s a joke hence why Dave said “according to the wife” they probably cost more than your net worth Spencer.

[@theayatollahofrockandrollah]

Audi isn't missing any car what are you on about??

[@AxelGrassi]

The ‘original’ car was crushed so I think that’s the idea behind the word ‘missing’, hence there is no specific or ‘original’ Audi Group S RS001 in existence as of right now. So Dave is building it from the ground up.

[@richardsowter8914]

Can’t wait to see this done! What a project!
